Due to the continuous and persistent efforts of AIGETOA, BTEU and BDM, another long-standing issue has finally become a reality.
BSNL has notified the Sabbatical Leave Scheme-2026, fulfilling one of the long-pending demands consistently pursued by AIGETOA over the years. The scheme provides eligible employees an opportunity to take a planned break from service for personal, family, educational, professional or self-development purposes while maintaining their association with BSNL.
The concept of Sabbatical Leave, which was envisioned and strongly advocated by AIGETOA, has now received its rightful place in BSNL’s HR policies. This achievement once again demonstrates that sincere and sustained efforts ultimately yield positive results.
We convey our sincere thanks to the BSNL Management for considering this small demand and issuing the policy in the interest of employees.
At the same time, several crucial HR issues concerning BSNL executives and employees still await resolution. Our commitment remains unwavering and our efforts shall continue with the same determination until all pending issues are addressed.
The quest continues. The resolve continues.
Let us all come together, strengthen our collective voice, and work towards achieving every legitimate right and aspiration of BSNL employees.
